*~Criminals~*

Im writing about criminals because people these days think it is cool to be a criminal. It is not cool to be a criminal at all. When you are a criminal people do not like you. You can hardly get a job. You got a bad reputation and people do not want you to be around them. People are scared of you. It is not cool to have people scared of you. I know many criminals.

I grew up in a bad town. Two years ago my cousins and I were sitting outside on my front porch and we saw the people standing out on the “block”, as they call it. Someone fired a gun and we heard it. This happened about 4 or 5 times a month. My family knows all of them down there and my parents did not want us around them. We to this day still live in that town. It is the same it’s not good at all. If you live in a bad town, you do not have to grow up like the bad people.

I made the mistake and started to hang out with them and I got in a lot of trouble. It is not cool at all. Please think of what I am saying and do not become a criminal. I have experiences and I do not want to see any more people grow up like that or become a criminal. You do not want to be in and out of placement or jail, that is no kind of life. Everyone needs a good life with their family and not away from them.
